Government staff and the people are accused of being decoys and more killings of them could take place during the upcoming elections, so effective and preventive measures would be needed, said Chairman of the State Security and Peace Commission, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing.


He said the above at the meeting of the SSPC held in Naypyidaw on August 12. There may be individuals and organizations local and abroad that could do subversive acts not to make the election succeed and they could disrupt the election in various ways, said Chairman of the SSPC.


" Killings of government staff and people after being accused of informers could take place more, so effective and preventive measures will be needed. Those culprits will be identified collaboratively and it's necessary to prosecute them as soon as possible." said Senior General Min Aung Hlaing.
